Yeah. I can appreaciate the amount of work that went into it. I just wonder how durable the finish is going to be. Did you guys read all the crap that they were writing about that guy? I thought there were asshats on SSM. These guys take the cake.

i was just looking at it closer and in the pic thats a closeup of the wheel after finished looks like the edge of the body is real thin. could the original foam body be just a mold?

maybe so, because you can see a seam between the finders and bumpers on the finished one and they aren't one the foam one.thats telling me its not 1 piece anymore

danm that was sweet . It looks like what some guy did to his ride and he just used it as a mold. I think it looks great and as long as you are ready for alot of work it would be cool to do.

I can almost guarantee that the foam was just the mold for the fiberglass work. And holy crap the people who comment on that site either need a stick up their ass or one removed.
